John Mayer has a song for every situation life could throw at you. His music has been with me through my countless trials and tribulations. I can't even fathom how many times I've listened to all his albums on repeat. His poetic lyrics and beautiful melodies make me feel otherworldly. So, I decided to take on the challenging task of listing the 18 Best John Mayer songs. They are in no particular order because all his songs are masterpieces, duh.

18. Stop This Train

This song is the definition of an existential crisis.

17. Love Song For No One

This tune is off of John's debut album, "Room for Squares," and is the perfect bubbly love song to listen to while walking to class or sitting in a coffee shop people-watching.

16. Helpless

This is off of John's newest album, "The Search for Everything." It has the perfect mix of a retro style sound with a groovy guitar riff paired with infectious lyrics.

15. Assassin

At 5 minutes and 14 seconds, this is one of John's longer songs, but it's angelic in the way it tells the story of a man that sleeps around and isn't into commitment (an assassin), who then falls for a girl who's "an assassin too". Karma at its finest.

14. Rosie

The way he says "Perdon and lo siento" gives me goosebumps.

13. 3x5

John may have figured out the meaning of life with this song. Live in the moment, spend time with the people you love, and don't take pictures of everything you do!

12. Heartbreak Warfare

The striking guitar and smooth vocals make this a classic.

11. Daughters

How can you not like this song? I cry every time I hear it.

10. No Such Thing

The hard-hitting lyrics and attention grabbing guitar playing makes this one of John's most memorable songs.

9. Vultures

The first song I learned to play on the drum set so it holds a special place in my heart.

8. Gravity

This will be played at my wedding. One of the best love songs ever written.

7. Split Screen Sadness

Have you ever been in a long distance relationship? This song describes the feeling perfectly.

6. Bigger Than My Body

The ideal song to scream out of a car sunroof or dance around with your friends to.

5. Waiting on the World to Change

One of John's most commercially successful songs, and rightfully so. It has some of the most quotable lyrics such as, "It's hard to beat the system / when you're standing at a distance."

4. XO

This song is a cover of the Beyonce song of the same name, but it's so well done that it makes the list.

3. 83 Medley (Live in Birmingham)

One of the best mash ups ever. You can hear the audience freak out when he effortlessly transitions into "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun."

2. Clarity

The jazzy undertone and soulful falsetto give me life.

1. Why Georgia

A motivational song about chasing your dreams instead of being clouded by fear.

John once said in an interview, "Hopefully people can see my music is tethered to my brain." We can John, and we love you for it.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
